Alison Alder and Mini Graff: Some Posters / Local Positions
Date
6 March 2015 - 18 April 2015
Place
The Cross Art Projects, 8 Llankelly Place, Kings Cross, Sydney, 2011, Australia
Description

The exhibition Some Posters / Local Positions aims to blur the line between studio, street and social/political art practice. A modus operandi of artists Alison Alder and Mini Graff is to use a fluid community residency to engage with social justice issues; their print and poster works or stencils often pose puzzling, persuading or provoking questions.

Death of a Broadsheet
Date
2015 -
Description

Death of a Broadsheet refers to the demise of the hard copy newspaper, the portrayal of public figures in the mainstream print media and the manipulation of images through print. Like paper rolling through the giant presses of yesterday and the contemporary scrolling of digital news feeds, Death of a Broadsheet disseminates news via reformatted images sourced from online news feeds and hard-copy newspapers.

Ghost Citizens: witnessing the intervention
Date
17 May 2013 - 16 June 2013
Place
Counihan Gallery, City of Moreland, Melbourne, Vic.
Description

Ghost Citizens follow us and infiltrate our daily lives. In a continent full of the ghosts and shadows of colonialism, the historical, social, and physical landscape is pitted. Each story is a ghost story loaded with shadows – a kind of ‘scar’ story. Djon Mundine OA
